Best Semi Automatic Espresso Machine

Then don’t delay in checking out our top 4 semi-automatic espresso machines that have been reviewed.

Now, if you’re not a barista you may be wondering what’s the difference between a manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic espresso machine.

Do not fret I’m here to briefly explain the differences for you.

A manual espresso machine is pretty much all hands on, a semi-automatic has an automated pump and some other automated features, but you’ll still need to turn the pump on and off, and a fully automatic espresso machine can regulate temperatures, water levels and more with just the push of the button.

So, with that said it’s definitely a preference of which style you prefer.

KitchenAid Nespresso

This is our number one reviewed semi-automatic espresso machine.

In fact, there were very few negative complaints. It is large, heavy, and a bit pricey but it’s worth every penny.

If you’re looking to create a delicious espresso, a delectable cappuccino, or a yummy latte this espresso machine can do it, and do it quickly.

Additionally, it comes with a milk frother so froth lovers can top off their favorite coffee beverage.

Taste

Of course, it’s going to taste great! You get to make it the way you want it.

Choose a capsule, add the appropriate amount of water, and milk preference and you’ll feel like you’re sitting at a European cafe’.

The coffee you taste will be rich, and smooth.

Froth – Cold or Hot?

While froth is definitely a personal choice, it’s awesome when you can find an espresso machine that does it for you.

It heats up quickly and very hot to about 170 degrees Fahrenheit.

With just one touch of the button, you can have hot steamed milk or froth.

Hold the button down for a second longer and it will add cold milk froth in case you prefer a hot espresso with a touch of cold milk.

It truly does sound delightful.

Easy to Use

It’s super user-friendly.

You can make a cup of espresso or lungo with just the touch of a button.

Reviewers love the idea that you can preset 6 size selections. I’m sure your family will love that too.

You just need to drop the capsule in to use this espresso machine and it can be reused without feeling that the flavor has dissipated.

The water tank can be easily removed so you don’t have to try to lug the heavy, large machine over the sink to fill it.

Reviewers also enjoy that you don’t seem to have to fill the tank up as frequently as other machines.

It also has an ample amount of space for placing larger cups under the spout.

Can you believe it does all of this and clean up is just as easy and painless? Its true reviewers report clean-up takes about 2-3 minutes.
